I hope someone might have succeeded at this, where we have failed.

Tryng to compile dtach, the source is available:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/d...ar.gz?download

I am no great compilation expert and so have no idea why this is not
working on AIX. I have it working on Linux. It seems to compile ok, and
executes but:

I get the same error with all command line options:
# dtach -A /tmp/socket1 dc
dtach: init_pty: No such file or directory
dtach: /tmp/socket1: Connection refused

The socket1 file is created.

If someone has compiled this program sucessfully, any info would be
appreciated, as this program is of great use to us. (screen is too
complex to hide from our users).

This isn't a compilation problem, this is a _porting_ problem. You need
to go find yourself a programmer that is familiar with AIX and have
them add support for AIX-specific details like pseudo-ttys. This
aspect of a system is usually different from OS to OS, and unless
someone has added code to dtach to support AIX-specific issues, you're
out of luck.
